Scott Crossfield flying a single-engine plane went missing when it left Alabama for Virginia on Wednesday morning.
The missing plane left Prattville, Ala., around 9 a.m. Wednesday en route to Manassas, Va. Search crews from the Civil Air Patrol were conducting an air and ground search along the flight path, focusing on a hilly, forested region of north-central Georgia.
Search teams combed the forests of northern Georgia looking for the plane registered to Crossfield. Scott Crossfield was the first man to fly at twice the speed of sound. The wreckage of the plane was later found Thursday with a body inside.
Searchers found the wreckage shortly after 1 p.m. in the mountains near Ranger, Ga., about 50 miles northwest of Atlanta, a Civil Air Patrol spokeswoman said.

A shrimp boat crew discovered the wreckage of the missing Cessna 195Monday morning near the Saint Augustine inlet. Gary Tillman’s plane had gone down in December 18. It was the news that most did not want to hear, yet most expected. However, the closure was probably of some relief to the family.
The identities of two bodies pulled from a wreckage of a plane off of Vilano Beach could be positively identified.
A shrimp boat crew discovered the wreckage Monday morning near the Saint Augustine inlet.
Parts of the plane were tangled in their net as they dredged the sea. The two bodies are believed to be the pilot, Gary Tillman and his 16-year-old daughter, Hannah.
It was more than two weeks ago they left Craig Airfield with two other passengers headed for the Bahamas. One of those passengers survived, the other was rescued but later died.
Atlanta Journal Constitution; Bodies of missing Rome daughter, pilot found
The news spread quickly in Rome Monday and it was something people needed to hear but didn’t want to hear. The bodies of Gary Tillman and his 16-year-old daughter, Hannah, had been found in the cold, choppy Atlantic Ocean about a mile off Vilano Beach near St. Augustine.
A shrimp boat trawling in a secured area that was being searched by the U.S. Coast Guard snagged the wreckage of a Cessna 195 that crashed Dec. 18, sending divers into the area where they found both bodies within a few hours. Hannah was outside the plane while her father was still in the cockpit.
Monday it was confirmed. “It’s more or less a relief” that their bodies have been found, Morris Lively, a friend of the Tillman family since before Hannah was born, said Monday. “I wanted some closure. We all did. We just wanted to bring them home.”

The Coast Guard has suspended the search for the missing victims, Gary Tillman, 43, and his daughter, Hanna Tillman, 16, determining that their was little to no chance of survival following the Sunday plane crash.
The Coast Guard suspended its two-day search Tuesday for a pilot and his daughter missing after their small plane crashed off the northeast Florida coast.
Authorities determined pilot Gary Tillman, 43, and his daughter, Hanna Tillman, 16, both of Rome, Ga., had been lost too long since Sunday’s crash and had little chance of survival.
“After many hours of searching with numerous types of surface and air assets, we’ve had to make the determination that we will probably not find anyone alive,” Capt. David Lersch, commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville, said in a written statement.
